Background Story of this 1956 Buick Century

Overview of 1956 Buick Century For Sale by Owner

The Buick Century is one of the most successful vehicles produced by the automaker, remaining in production since 1936 for several generations. This particular vehicle is from the second generation of the Century, featuring a large and powerful V8 that put the Century among Buick's performance vehicles. Paired with an elegant design, it's no surprise that it became an instant classic. This particular model of the Century is more notable, being a rare trim often called a 'four holer,' thanks to its four holes per side in each side of the hood, denoting the car being an eight-cylinder model. Surviving for nearly seventy years, this Century features some upgraded parts, along with some modern comforts, including power steering, and remains in excellent condition. Owning a 1956 Buick Century Model 66R 2-Door Riviera Hardtop isn't just a purchase; it's an investment into protecting a piece of American automotive history and a collector's dream, making this car one that you shouldn't miss out on.

Exterior and Interior

The design of the second generation Century is a masterpiece of timeless elegance, without a doubt. Sleek lines that glide from front to back, paired with some sharp angles and lines accentuated with distinctive chrome accents, make this car an absolute stunner. The Emerald Green paint, which the current owner reports to have been repainted roughly 15 years ago, is a perfect selection, showing a hint of sophistication and luxury at the same time. Climbing inside, the theme of elegance and vintage style continues in the black and cream-toned interior. The big, spacious cabin is a joy to be in and remains true to its vintage roots. As you settle into the seats, you'll welcome the great visibility of the exterior and the simple and honest 'American' feel of the Century's interior. However, the experience does come at a minimal compromise, with the original radio of the car not working at the moment. You'll also be disappointed if you're looking for air conditioning.

Engine

But whatever shortcomings the interior might have are all forgotten when the 322ci "Fireball" V8 springs to life. Paired with a 2-Speed Dynaflow automatic transmission, this Buick's engine delivered performance with style. The current engine has had a few components upgraded as well, including a recently replaced 4-barrel carburetor, fuel pump, and battery, meaning this Century is ready to live on for many more miles to come, should you claim her for your garage.

1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$52,496

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
